Joe Biden to address largest Muslim American PAC
20th July 2020: America’s Democratic Presidential candidate, Joe Biden will address the largest Muslim Political Action Committee (PAC) on Monday.
According to reports of Baaghi TV, Joe Biden the Democratic presidential nominee will be addressing the nation’s largest Muslim committee PAC to reach out to groups he didn’t court during the primary.
Emgage Action, the political arm of a 14-year-old Muslim outreach organization, will host Biden at its Million Muslim Votes Summit, held online.

The conference comes 11 months after just two then-Democratic presidential candidates, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and former HUD secretary Julián Castro, attended the Islamic Society of North America’s convention. Emgage had criticized the two dozen Democrats, like Biden, who found somewhere else to be.
“Muslim American communities are organizing like never before to maximize our voter turnout, and to ensure that our voices are represented,” Wa’el Alzayat, the chief executive of Emgage Action, said in a statement. “The Million Muslim Votes Summit is the culmination of this work, and it is with great honor that Vice President Joe Biden is partnering with Emgage Action to engage with Muslim American communities and help galvanize us towards the polls this upcoming November.”

As stated in The Washington Post, Emgage was founded before the 2008 election — it was initially called Emerge, a name was later taken by a group that trains female Democratic candidates, it has only recently held large conferences.
Hillary Clinton did not appear at any Emgage evens in 2016, and Barack Obama was often cautious about outreach to Muslim voters, as conspiracy theories about his own faith swirled through the electorate.

Joe Biden would be the first Democratic nominee to address the group as he has dealt more confidently with Muslim voters.
“Joe Biden is proud to stand with Emgage during one of the most challenging moments for Muslim Americans in recent history under Donald Trump’s presidency,” said Farooq Mitha, Biden’s senior adviser on Muslim American engagement. “Now is the time for us to come together to fight for our Constitution, civil rights, a just immigration system, and a better future for all of us.”

Emgage was initially meant to endorse Bernie Sanders for president. It backed Biden only after Sanders ended his campaign three months ago, saying it could “envision our voices being represented through his presidency.”
There are many Muslims eligible to vote in Emgage’s targeted swing states, as well as California, Illinois, and Virginia.
